Just wondering how many members here are from the UK? There doesn't seem to be any activity in this part of the world. Just to get the ball rolling, I'm from Carlisle, Cumbria in England.
Anyother Britons out there?

Ah well. I was watching GoldenEye today as well :)

Apparently shopping is cheaper in Germany than the UK. My aunty goes over to Germany just for Christmas shopping. Living in Australia, that cracks me up :)

Depends on what's going on. In 1999 the JBIFC held a special TWINE event. We were able to see the movie the Monday before it opened (the morning of the premiere) at a special press screening. This was followed by a private Bond luncheon at the Fashion Cafe (or what used to be the Fashion Cafe), and then we had a party that night in Leister Square while the premiere was going on next door. It cost $$$ (JBIFC events are NEVER cheap) but absolutely worth it. It was then nice to stay in London for the week and follow all the pre-opening hype, then see the movie again when it opened officially on Friday.

If there's a similar event planned for BOND 20 I'm doing it!
